Objectives

The aim of this CU is to develop theoretical and practical knowledge of the characteristics of the principal classicalmaterials applied to construction,and their respective impact on expected behaviours based on theirphysical,chemical and mechanical characteristics.

Knowledge, abilities and skills to be acquired

It thus aims at developing in-depth knowledge of thephysical,chemical and mechanic characteristics of the principal materials,and the influence of their behaviours (traditional wooden materials,plastics,bitumen,steels,linkages,cements,ceramics and glass).It aims at developingtheoretical knowledge about the composition of bitumen, theoretical knowledge of calculus in the composition ofbitumen and mortar, and the essays to verify their principal characteristics and potential and real resistances. Itaims at developing knowledge as to the utilization and application of new construction materials(self-compacting,light and fibre reinforced cements)as far as their behaviours,techniques of application and later functioning.
